There are still lots of buds on the stem, so - unless I mess up - I hope to have a long period of blooming.
I mentioned "messing up" because I noticed that one of my peace lilies - the one with a new bud - was drooping the other evening. I had watered it, together with the two other lilies (which seemed to be fine)... So I watered it again...and within a few hours it had perked up.
(Do buds take more moisture than leaves?!)
I'm happy to see that the large African violet is also still in bloom. I've messed that one up in previous years by overwatering - so now I make sure that the soil is REALLY dry to the touch before I add water.
The Christmas (or is it Easter?!) cactus is also still in bloom... with new buds flowering... Hope it blooms till Easter!
As an aside, my doctor wants me to record my blood pressure at least once a week. I find that looking at flowers lowers my blood pressure! Having them around is therapeutic.
